8. The system of claim 7 , wherein: the processor of the second device locks the second device in response to the second device detecting that the wearable device is outside the predefined physical range; the predefined physical range comprises an inner zone; an outer zone comprises a second physical range comprising distances greater than the inner zone and less than a maximum transmission distance of a wireless unit of the wearable device; and the processor of the second device is configured to calculate a position of the wearable device relative to the inner zone and the outer zone in response to the processor of the second device measuring a wireless signal strength of a signal received from the wearable device.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the first device and the second device further comprise a plurality of information handling systems.

10. The system claim 7 , wherein the first device configured to authenticate the user further comprises a unit for reading a fingerprint of the user.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the wireless connection further comprises a Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) connection.

12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the browser is configured to authorize an online shopping payment in response to the user of the wearable device making a purchase with the browser.

13. An apparatus for automatically unlocking an electronic device via a wearable device, comprising: a processor of a first device configured to authenticate a user of the wearable device in response to the user closing a clasp of the wearable device and entering a personal authentication password on the first device; a processor of a second device, controlling a wireless unit of a second device configured to request a rolling one-time password (OTP) from a series of passwords via a wireless connection to the wearable device in response to: the second device detecting that the wearable device is within a predefined physical range of the second device; and the user of the wearable device pressing an input key of the second device; the processor of the second device configured to unlock the second device in response to the second device receiving the rolling OTP from the wearable device; and a processor of the wearable device configured to: monitor a status of the clasp, wherein the status comprises a closed state or an open state; and delete OTP or password key information from the wearable device in response to the processor of the wearable device detecting that the clasp is in the open state; wherein the processor of the second device is further configured to authorize a web page login in a web browswer in response to: the second device detecting that the wearable device is within the predefined physical range of the second device; and the user of the wearable device navigating to the web page on the browser.
